Firewall Policies
The Firewall feature of Host Intrusion Prevention protects computers by filtering all
network traffic, allowing legitimate traffic through the firewall and blocking the rest.
This is done by applying firewall rules. In the current release of the product, stateful
filtering and inspection have been added to manage version 6.1 clients. Legacy static
firewall rules, referred to as HIP 6.0 rules, are also available but apply only to version
6.0 clients. To aid in the transition from static to stateful rules, a firewall rules migration
utility is available.
This section describes the Firewall feature and includes the following topics:
